MISCONCEPTIONS

The common misconception that infusion pump occlusion alarms will signal a peripheral IV infiltration event is a serious threat to patient safety.

KNOW THE FACTS

No matter what you’ve been told, infusion pump pressure alarms do not detect infiltrations.

The ivWatch Model 400 is the only device to receive clearance, globally, to offer early detection of infiltrations/extravasations. Other companies, from infusion pumps or liquid flow sensors, may include language to imply they are detecting infiltrations, but they do not. They are designed to detect other complications or issues, such as occlusions or cross-flow in multi-infusion settings.
